Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role This is a hands-on, end-to-end technical delivery role at a pre-seed AI fintech startup building automation tooling for private market operations. You'll work directly with asset servicers and asset managers to translate their real workflows into production-grade AI-driven deployments — and feed everything you learn back into the core product. It's a high-ownership position on a small, senior founding team. What You'll Do Own the full project lifecycle from initial discovery with customer operations teams through to production launch. Collaborate directly with customer teams to map existing workflows and surface adoption barriers. Convert client processes into AI-driven workflows on the platform, including fund accounting agents and reconciliation pipelines. Build customer-tailored prototypes with rapid iteration, adjusting scope based on what you learn in the field. Translate deployment insights into concrete product development feedback and roadmap input. Develop reusable components and standardised approaches from recurring implementation patterns. What We're Looking For 1–6 years of experience in software engineering, forward deployment, or a closely related technical role. Hands-on proficiency with TypeScript, NestJS, Postgres, Prisma, Inngest, React, TanStack, and Tailwind. Comfort working across the full stack and owning technical delivery independently. Strong communication skills — able to lead workflow discovery sessions with non-technical operations stakeholders. Background in or strong interest in fintech, private markets, fund accounting, or enterprise workflow automation is a plus. Experience at a high-calibre software company or in a customer-facing engineering role is valued.
